MP5016GQH-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP5016GQH-P is an active power switch IC manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems, designed for general-purpose high-side N-channel switching applications. This device integrates a 1:1 power switch/driver configuration with integrated fault protection, operating across a 2.7V to 15V supply range and delivering up to 5A output current. The part is currently in active production status with 857 units available in tape & reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and compliance certifications are maintained across the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MP5016GQH-Z qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the MP5016GQH-P based on the following substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Output configuration: High-side N-channel 1:1 switch
• Supply voltage range: 2.7V ~ 15V
• Load voltage: 15V
• Maximum output current: 5A
• On-resistance (typical): 43mOhm
• Fault protection: Over current and over voltage
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)
• Interface: On/Off control

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Package type: 10-PowerVFQFN (1.5x2mm)
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Base product number: MP5016

Compliance & Certifications (Identical):

• RoHS3 compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8542.39.0001

Packaging Difference: The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: MP5016GQH-P is supplied in tape & reel (TR), while MP5016GQH-Z is supplied in cut tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® format. This difference affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MP5016GQH-P and MP5016GQH-Z are active production devices from Monolithic Power Systems with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements rather than functional performance.

MP5016GQH-P is appropriate for applications requiring tape & reel packaging format, commonly used in high-volume automated assembly environments.

MP5016GQH-Z is appropriate for applications requiring cut tape or Digi-Reel® packaging formats, with significantly higher inventory availability (16967 units versus 857 units).

Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3, REACH, and applicable export classifications. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP5016GQH-Z be used as a direct replacement for MP5016GQH-P in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (tape & reel versus cut tape/Digi-Reel®). PCB footprint, pin configuration, and electrical performance are identical, allowing direct substitution at the component level.

Q: What is the difference between tape & reel and cut tape packaging?

A: Tape & reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment in high-volume production. Cut tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging supply components in smaller quantities on individual tape segments, suitable for lower-volume assembly or manual handling. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between MP5016GQH-P and MP5016GQH-Z?

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 5A maximum output current, 43mOhm typical on-resistance, 2.7V to 15V supply range, identical fault protection features, and identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MP5016GQH-P and MP5016GQH-Z are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on procurement requirements. MP5016GQH-Z offers higher inventory availability (16967 units). MP5016GQH-P is selected when tape & reel packaging is specifically required by assembly equipment or procurement specifications.

Q: Is the 10-PowerVFQFN package the same across both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 10-PowerVFQFN package with 1.5x2mm dimensions. PCB layout, thermal management, and mechanical mounting are identical.
